There's nothing better than having your mom take care of you when you're sick, but there aren't too many mothers who are willing to fly across the country to make their adult children soup.

Grace Li, a 22-year-old high school biology teach living in New York City, took to Twitter to reveal that her mom Shixia Huang made the spur-of-the-moment decision to fly from Texas to see her because she wasn't feeling well.

While sharing a photo of herself in New York with her mom, she wrote: 'Me on the phone with my mom last night: I'm sick. Her: Ok I can catch the next flight. Me: Is that a joke?'

The photo of them together is proof that her mom wasn't joking, and many commenters were truly touched that Shixia was willing to drop everything to see her daughter.

A woman named Meg said it was the 'sweetest' thing she has ever seen, and Grace agreed that her mother is the 'best.' After Meg noted the post made her miss her own mother, Grace offered up a suggestion.

'Friend I have an easy solution to that just TELL HER YOU'RE SICK AND POOF,' she joked.

The flight from Texas to New York is only about three hours, and Shixia made sure to get Grace's head pain checked as soon as she arrived.

'The first thing she did was zip me to her doctor friend,' Grace explained. 'I was like "mom it's fine I'm sure this stabby head pain will pass" and she was like LOL TIME TO SCHEDULE A CT SCAAAAANNNN.'

Grace went on to reveal in the thread that her mother made her soup in the morning, and Shixia cooked her enough food 'to last the next three days.'

'Moms... there’s nothing like em,' Jaimie Primak said, while Lynn Shelley added: 'It's that invisible umbilical cord. If your mum lives until you are 100 she'll still cross the world for you.'

Shixia agreed with the latter tweet, telling BuzzFeed News: 'Yes, no matter how old my daughter is, I will always cross the world for her. When I could not do it physically one day, I will surely do it in my heart.'

The cancer researcher explained that she had planned on working late that evening until she talked to Grace. Shixia thought her daughter's headache was a 'bit unusual' and she believed she was also feeling homesick.

The plane tickets from Texas to New York were incredibly cheap, and Shixia arrived in the Big Apple that night.

Grace spent the weekend being doted on by her mom, and Shixia stayed up cooking the night before she left so her daughter would have food for the rest of the week.

The teacher told BuzzFeed news that she was 'touched by all the responses' she received about her mom on Twitter.
